    Manliness

    By Wizard,

    In a complete turn around. I watched Hokuto no Ken movie and I have to say. It is the most manly animated manga to film adaption ever.
     
    With;
     
    Kenshiro owning it up
    Yuria looking pretty
    Roah being badass
    Rei being badass
    Loads of blood
    Alot of WATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA
    "YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD"
    limbs flying everywhere
    bodies exploding
    manly tears
     
    It is made of win and violence.

    Writing Woes

    By Wizard,

    I've got alot on my plate right now.
     
    3 Stories and tons of games to finish.
     
    Resident Evil: Before Infection - Non-canon story about an RPG I used to play last year, "Part 1"
     
    Arcanium Stadium - The "Current" title of the story I'm working on. On hold until me and drawer can beat some games, or until I get sick of said games and go back to writing. I've written about 8 and half chapters. Trust me, it's all script format. So you try writing 30 chapters worth of mostly dialogue.
     
    and finally
     
    Dark Times unto Dark Bloodlines - A story based in White Wolf's World of Darkness series of tabletop RPGs, totally non-canon, using some characters I created up for an RPG that I've just about started.
     
    And then theres all those games on the left over there that need beating. I've blasted my way through Marvel and still working on beat all the comic missions AND on hard mode AND unlocking everyones costumes. I've managed to put a good 29 hours into it so far. Theres also Heroes of Might & Magic V + Hammers of Fate. No time to live anymore. AND THEN Theres the slight possbility of a family memeber staying over for a really long time and he's bringing nearly all of his lifestyle with him. But we get along pretty well and he's gonna get me some if you know what I mean. He's pimp, and we might get XBL Gold, so all our woes and online madness shall continue in Xbox format.
     
    Enough life. Back to brainstorming and having sleepless nights due to video games and writing. It's amazing I also lurk the fourms at the same time. How do I do this? Easy, no job, no school and no band until Feb due to everyone else having mid terms.
     
    /s/ don't fail me now.

    We've found "ourselves" and our music playing style. We've played many jams in the short amount of time we've started practicing again.

    Smashing Pumpkins:
    Zero
    I Am One
    Today

    Californication
     
    Pixies:
    Something Against You

    We'll be playing our first full band show next month on the 23rd, opening for another band and be one of the supporting acts for Jamfestival, an event being planned by my godbrother's management.
     
    This beats just me playing solo.

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. + C&C3

    By Wizard,

    2 New games fresh out of the bag.
     
    Haven't tried C&C3 yet but got STALKER installed and running. Thought so far? Decent game that can run on this guy's 9800 Pro. The bad? Saving games is completely screwed. I'm about 4 hours into the game, then I die... I try to load game, nothing... Something is up, you'd think after taking so long to come out, 1 month of testing would of been nice. But alas, it shall (Is?) fixed with a recent patch. Sucks that I might have to restart again.
     
    Yes this is getting me off WoW for now. Until C&C3 captivates me.

    9800 Pro ;_;

    By Wizard,

    my 9800 Pro's fan died, yeah, pretty sad way for a card to go out ;_;
     
    Anyways, ranbat 1.2 is this weekend and there's gonna be a roll call bout it for 2k2 and 3s. Removed Vampire 2 due to lack of interest sadly. Keep an eye out on the thread.

    Around the pond....

    By Wizard,

    NEW MUSIC!
     
    FEIST FEIST FEIST!
     
    So one track got me interested into listening to her stuff. That song was "One Two Three Four" off her new album The Reminder. Which is worth the funds AS SOON AS I GET MONEY.
     
    Now I'll start it off with "One Two Three Four," the leading single off the album. Of what I assume is about a couple who have now changed and matured enough to reminisinced on their "teenage love" and how their hopes have changed. Seeminly sung innocently to the listener. Might give you a hit (if your emotional) about how being a teenager is. Fun song to listen too, and the video is very enjoyable with the dancing. I highly suggest checking out her album.
     
    The artist to the comic I'm writing is back to school and is busy as ever and we're a little behind schedule on our first batch of pilot editions to send to a few people. We're also toying around with the idea of the title again. Arcanium (Without the "Stadium" part), The Last General and Momentary Lapse are our current favorites. Of course the original title is still up, but I think it died out. Also it's too obvious an reference to music (Stadium Arcadium being an album by the Peppers).
     
    Also reviews of Melty Blood+ReACT+FINAL TUNED+Melty Blood Act Cadenza Ver.B will be made into ONE review. Both Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary are also to be completed, as well as Bioshock, which I recently got working by disabling all the High Res pass options and Rune Factory Harvest Moon, Harvest Moon DS, Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja and Pokemon Daimond & Pearl, which was partly written already. These are on my list to complete but I'm swamped with writing chores on the comic and a script adaption of Part III of the series.

    Hello

    By Wizard,

    Hello, how are you?
     
    I got on the road again
    Seeing sights, New York City skies
    traveling down open road
     
    from new york to virginia
     
    cross highways
    underneath stars
    my legs aching
    beautiful times
     
    from new york to virginia
    over all those miles
    to new york and virginia
     
    sunset sky
    blue water
    back moon river
    pretty girl on the way to virginia
     
    catch me leaving
    one last time
    under rains a heavy
    see me off to virginia

    UNLIMITED BOAT WORKS

    By Wizard,

    I am the captain of my boat.
    Waves is my body, and seawater is my blood.
    I have sailed over a thousand charters
    Unknown to mountains.
    Nor known to fields.
    Have withstood storms to catch many fish.
    Yet, those fish will never be eaten.
    So as I pray....

    10VIDEOTAPE
     
    #1 - 15 Steps - Laced with a clapping drum beat and samples of kids cheering comes the opening track to Radiohead's "In Rainbows." Proving that they can still be genre defying per release. Hearing the song just a year ago and listening to the final product brings out shades of blue for this track. Excellent tracking, noise everywhere, typical Radiohead flare with ambiant noise. Keeping it's "live" feel from last year, and the many, many, MANY live versions I've heard this song, hearing the final studio polished sound of this nearly brought tears to me eyes. This will certainly get you clapping.
     
    #2 - Bodysnatchers - Layers of dirty guitars, dry drums and an audible voice comes a song that will bring back memories of the 12 years ago to some. Sounding like it was just ripped out from The Bends era. So they've brought back the guitars and the tone and how does it stack up? You can easily place this into The Bends it's not funny. If you were a fan of The Bends LP this will certainly be up your ally. Vocals were audible, but hard to tell what's he's saying, while on purpose and trying to retain it's feel from last year's mini tour. While still retaining in esscense, I do miss the blaring guitars that practically made Thom Yorke's voice nearly inaudible. - Note: Filled with noise, alot of it.
     
    #3 - Nude - Nearly 10 years in the making. From the OK Computer era, played once in 2002 by request, and jammed upon during the Hail To The Thief tour. Radiohead afficinado will find this song to be "THE" song. As it is the most requested, most listened too and most loved (behind True Love Waits and Big Boots). What's in: New dub influnced bassline, reversed and forward played strings, wailing vocals and the calmness of both Ed & Jonny's solid notched guitar playing - What's out: The organ, the glockenspeil, the old bass, the keyboards, the distortion on the outro and Thom's guitar. The attraction: A slow lullby-like ballad that will make any crowd silent, standing, and wondering what just happened. The infedality of a relationship come to light in this song. This song was my limit, watery eyes hit me. Just hearing a final version of a song that you love so dearly finally get recorded hits you here. OK Computer fans should find this song the most appealing besides my next entry.
     
    # 4 - Weird fishese/Arpeggi - Debuting 2 years ago with a full orchestra to great acclaim, comes the final rendition of something you could of sworn they've been working on since OK Computer. Arpeggi brings shades of DJ Shadow like-drumming and can be easily compared to OK Computer's album opener, Airbag. But that's where the similarities end. With the drum beat in place, we kick the bass in and the rythmic guitar playing 3 riffs over and over. Cue in Jonny's guitar, slowly building in pace with it's quietness. Yorke's fascination with oceans comes in lyrically, together with Ed's rythmic guitar section entering, with a melody of what sounds like a thousand arpeggios, Yorke's vocals shine and Ed's haunting wails all suddenly come to a halt with harp noises, a lowly guitar, and various strings, only to get kicked back up with the drum beat and a bassline towards the final section and the return of a thousand arpeggios, this time from more then just guitars, closes the song greatly.
     
    # 5 - All I Need - The haunting noises, a trip-hop beat, drone like bass and soften piano playing over. Very reminiscent of the songs found on Amnesiac. Could this be the love song everyone was expecting from Radiohead? Well with a title like that and a chorus with "You are all I need, you are all I need." Yeah well, You probably guessed it. Hearing the song in it's final form and compairing it with all those times played live. It's come a long way. While practically the same, what's added are various horns, which cap the song greatly and the build up towards the end is espeically exciting. Is this Radiohead song actually, god forbid, happy? By all means, it's up to you. To me, it's about someone feeling lonely from being away from their loved one for a few months.
     
    # 6 - Faust Arp - An acoustic number with a string section laid out by the mad mind of Jonny Greenwood. The shortest number on the album and in Radiohead's whole back catologue. This could possible be "Burn the Witch" ? Probably, but until I get my DISCBOX and read the lyrics. I won't understand a single thing Yorke says in this song, and this is my second time (thus far) listening to it. But hey, it's an interesting song to say the least. It flows greatly after All I Need and the next track. But this could of been perfectly laid out as a B-side should they ever consider a single's release.
     
    # 7 - Reckoner - Alright, what the hell just happened here? What happened to roary vocals, grungey guitar, mad bass and drums? Wow what a long shot this song came out to be. But by all means, it isn't bad, just weird to me. Here we have, probably what I find the most radio-friendly song on the whole album. It's subtle song with various precussion instruments everywhere with strings and guitar. I don't know where or how to compare this to previous material. But wow, you'll wonder.
     
    #8 - House of Cards - Slow Radiohead ballad again! But this is actually very interesting song, Ed practically fills this song with his noise, from his guitar no less and and slow, steady rythm makes you feel at peace. But behind all the calm rythms lies the sinister lyrics, about constant denial. "Changes from the live setting" you ask, dear reader. Well for one, there's more ambiant noise. Live I always thought this was a weak number. It never could really grab you in, this may of been the time passed between the first time I heard this in June till now, but it's grown on me a little since them. Not bed, but not good either I find. But will it see a future with only the Next Track button being pushed? Time will only tell.
     
    #9 - Jigsaw Falling Into Peices - After a slow peice, we bring up the tempo again, this time with an arpeggio of acoustic guitars! Not a solo number by any means, but a full band experience. Gone are the rocking overdriven guitars, replaced with similarly rocking, but not overdriven acoustic guitars and loud, but not too loud bass. Ed's chilling Ohhs make this song quite a number and fills perfect with Thom's vocals. In typical Radiohead fashion, synths and ambiant sounds are ahead for you. This piece would find a nice home following Amnesiac's "Knives Out."
     
    #10 - Videotape - And it all comes down to this. The album closer, and it's a heartful one at that. Probably the best closer since OK Computer's "The Tourist" (Not saying the previous albums had bad closers, but this ranks near the top of excellent closers). Also by far one of my favorite songs off the album (and in Radiohead's extensive catologue). The calmness of Thom's voice, the beautiful piano riffs and the lone high bass - all playing to a harmony of one man's journey through life captured on videotape. What is said is probably one of the most memorable lines ever written by Thom. 'this is my way of sayin goodbye, bcoz i can't do it face to face coz im talkin' to you - whatever what happens now you should be afraid bcoz today is the greatest day i ve everseen'
    If that doesn't hit you somewhere, well then, time you did a little soul searchin.
     
    In The Grand Scheme of things - This is a great album by Radiohead. Catering everyone's tastes from nearly every era (Sorry Pablo Honey fanboys/girls). Now with the most bias as possible, this album is the best. Ever. Ha, actually I'll go more into it, maybe a track ranking by my tastes.
     
    AT NUMBER 10;
    Faust Arp - Nothing against the song, it makes the album flow. Which is the only reason I see on the album.
    NUMBER 9;
    Reckoner - Wonderful song, but severaly different from what I expected.
    NUMBER 8;
    House of Cards - It's getting there.
    NUMBER 7;
    Jigsaw Falling Into Place - I like the live version more because of it's overdriven sound.
    NUMBER 6;
    15 Steps - How come I end up where I started~
    NUMBER 5;
    Bodysnatches - UHH THE BENDS
    NUMBER 4;
    Arrpeggi - I like Airbag, I like this. You like Airbag, you'll love this.
     
    OK HARD PART NOW, REALLY REALLY HARD
     
    Number 3;
    Nude - Alright, I love it, it nearly made me cry. It's awesome.
    Number 2;
    Videotape - The album closer is an excellent song, why is it ranked #2? Well, I miss it's great build found in the live version from last year.
    Number 1;
    All I Need - Ranked #1, only by a bit.
     
     
    This is an excellent album, and best of all you can get it for free at www.inrainbows.com by regging up with W.A.S.T.E. However, if you don't fancy signing up, here is another link. Also before the police come running in (Gamecop). Radiohead has expressed their opinions on the distribution of the new album, go crazy. It's 160kps MP3s, DRM free and we can do whatever we want with it. Even if it's eventually released in stores on CD. You want to support Radiohead's cause? Sign up with W.A.S.T.E. and hit pre-order for the download only and put in how much you want. 1 pence is enough for their cause, and they know it. It's a great album that's worth my 10 something dollars.

    Bitter Irony

    By Wizard,

    Irony that I WAS going to post #3 today but my computer ended up going kaput.
     
    I'm posting this on my sister's and now on a mission of recovery to check if drives work.
     
    I fear for my music, movies, games and pornography.
